Vacation Resorts.

A vacation destination has to make arrival feel different from the journey. In the archive, that change is suggested by signs, amusements, cabins, boardwalks and conspicuous entrances. Compare the buildings that organize a stay with the objects designed to become its memorable image. The Ocean City and Morey’s Pier stories offer two documented routes into this landscape of leisure, while the broader photographs invite discoveries across many other places and dates.
